It’s time for Spanish Mackerel and I’m here to tell you there are plenty out there. The piers are getting their share of Spanish. The size is still a little small. The biggest I have heard of was around one and a half pounds.
Fishing continues to improve daily offshore, inshore and near shore. Offshore, there is a lot of Tuna and Wahoo. All are thirty miles out or better. A little closer to shore there are plenty of King Mackerel
Another wet weekend but there were still a few fish caught and some were just right. The offshore report was a little slow due to a stiff wind. Near shore, a few brave souls did manage to catch a few Spanish Mackerel.
Well it’s happened, the first big Flounder of the year has been caught and she was a nice one. Saturday in the Snow’s Cut on a piece of Shrimp and a #6 long shank hook, a seven and a quarter pound flat fish met his fate. I would love to show him to you but …
We saw some nice fish this past weekend. Lots of things started to happen close to shore. Let’s start in the river down around Bald Head Island.
It’s finally here. Warm weather and some good fishing! Let’s start in the river down towards Bald Head Island. There are plenty of Whiting and some Puppy Drum in the waters.
Fishing is getting better and for those who enjoy pier fishing, the Kure Beach Pier is hot right now. It may seem a little early but they’re catching plenty of Whiting and Blowfish.
There were a few fish caught this past weekend. Kure Beach Pier reported Whiting being caught on Shrimp. A few Blowfish also showed up from the pier and in the surf.
I hope that all who tried to catch a fish last weekend did! It was not as warm as the prior weekend nor as calm but there were still some fish caught. The surf gave up a few Whiting and a couple of Puppy Drum
Now that was a nice weekend that just past and all that warm weather has definitely stirred those sleepy fish. There were several Black Drum caught around the Snow’s Cut area.
Spring is just around the corner and so is the fishing. Are you ready for the season? Have you been taking care of your equipment? I hope so. Did you know that gas turns to varnish?
Speckled Trout are in the yacht basin and running in good numbers. There have been many caught and I have even heard about some as big as five pounds. People are still catching a few Puppy Drum in the waterway.
By now you should have some rigs made, your reels clean and greased and ready for new line. You should have been starting that boat motor at least once every two weeks and the hubs greased. Don’t forget to put a little air in the tires. It’s been a little slow this past week with …
Well we are into the dead of winter, which really feels like spring most of the time. They say it was the warmest winter ever recorded and I can believe that and so could the fish.
It’s almost amazing how warm the water and air temperatures are currently. Ranging between 53 and 55 degrees is rather unusual for this time of the year. The warmer temperatures are helping to keep Speckled Trout around the rocks and in the Carolina Beach Inlet. The best bait is live bait. Black Drum continue to …
The Big Story: 12.75# Stripped Bass Caught On Stretch 25’s Read More »
The spike in weather temperatures this past week should and will probably turn the fish or at least wake them for a day or two this week. There are still plenty of sharks in the surf and a few Black Drum mainly under the piers
So what did you get for Christmas? A G.P.S.? A new four-stroke motor? A fancy chart plotter or depth finder? A new car or truck!
Well, except for Stripers and Speckled Trout, it’s pretty well over for this year! But as for Stripers there are plenty up the river from the big Bridge on up to Smith Creek and they’re plentiful. Many of the Striped Bass are being taken on artificial and live baits. It’s also time to try for …
It’s the week before Christmas and it’s a little quiet in the surf. But in the river, Stripers are not quiet these days.
Not much has changed since last week. People are still catching a few Whiting from the Kure Beach Pier. They are also catching some Blowfish and an occasional Black Drum. In the surf, you might still catch a few Whiting but by far your best bet is Speckled Trout up and down the beachfront. Use …
